  • Three little birds sat on my window
    And they told me I don't need to worry
    Summer came like cinnamon, so sweet
    Little girls, double-dutch on the concrete

    Maybe sometimes we got it wrong, but it's all right
    The more things seems to change, the more they stay the same
    Ooh, don't you hesitate

    Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song
    You go ahead, let your hair down
    Sapphire and faded jeans
    I hope you get your dreams
    Just go ahead, let your hair down
    You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow

    Blue as the sky, sunburnt and lonely
    Sipping tea in the bar by the road side
    (Just relax, just relax)
    Don't you let those other boys fool you
    Gotta love that Afro hairdo

    Maybe sometimes we feel afraid, but it's all right
    The more you stay the same, the more they seem to change
    Don't you think it's strange?

    Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song
    You go ahead, let your hair down
    Sapphire and faded jeans
    I hope you get your dreams
    Just go ahead, let your hair down
    You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow

    Just more than I could take
    Pity for pity's sake
    Some nights kept me awake
    I thought that I was stronger
    When you gonna realize that you don't even have to try any longer?
    Do what you want to

    Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song
    You go ahead, let your hair down
    Sapphire and faded jeans
    I hope you get your dreams
    Just go ahead, let your hair down
    Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song
    You go ahead, let your hair down
    Sapphire and faded jeans
    I hope you get your dreams
    Just go ahead, let your hair down
    Ooh, you're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow Writer/s: Corinne Jacqueline Bailey Rae, John Robert Beck, Steven Chrisanthou
